Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: Still Available.
Are those Desert Dog X tire recaps on the rear?

“Great Willys Jeep. It is all original, engine totally rebuilt and painted. Runs great, it has been sanded down and ready for body work”
Does run at the moment. Has rear PTO gearbox and extra parts. Unclear if it is a VC or not. Also includes the drum attachment.

“1946 CJ2A Kansas title Dash, body, frame and ID tag serial numbers all match Not currently running. Head was removed due to gasket leak. Has rear PTO and belt drive attachment Good Spare engine block included also $3500 obo. For quick sale. Must sell.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Listed as a 1945 CJ-2, this looks more likely to be a 1946 CJ-2A.
“1945 Willys Jeep Model CJ2 Willys Overland Motors Inc Toledo Ohio USA 1/4 ton four wheel drive vehicle Jeep kept in Palm Springs, California. This Jeep is in good running order and in original condition. Many repairs have been done to keep it operational. Four wheel drive works, steering has been repaired and works well. In the past few years, four new Military mud tires were put on. The original color was military green but the current color is red/orange.
The seats have been replaced with more comfortable ones but the original seats are available and are in need of repair. I do have many photos of the Jeep and video of it traveling up a hill in the desert. It has no issue starting and it runs well. The stock steering wheel, front Willys hood and tailgate along with drop down window are all original so this could be a great restoration project for someone. There is a clear and updated title and registration for vehicle. 12 volt system. Six speed transmission 3 high gear, 3 low gear.
Minor oil leak in transmission, along with minor leak in front and rear differential. It currently is using 5 gallon gas can for gas tank. Price is $7500 without delivery for vehicle. Original seats would be no charge. Seats are in need of work”
This has a new replacement tub.

The grille has been pushed forward, likely due to the installed V8.

“Several old Jeep Willys in various states of poor condition
CJ-2A has decent metal but is a project. Has rear PTO. Engine is free, oil in block. Gear box shifters move freely but transmission shifter does not. Tub needs work but is salvageable. Has original Willys seat, can sell seperate.
CJ-3A has Arctic Top, driver door is off but I have it. Engine is free, oil in block, fluid in radiator. Tub is shot.
One other rolling chassis with engine, also a CJ-3A I believe. There is another CJ-3a with front hood and sheet metal. Has engine but manifold is gone, open to weather likely no good.
Have at least one each Dana 25, 41 and 44 axles, with driveshafts attached that do spin. Three transmissions, two have gear box shifters that slide, gear shifters are seized.
Other miscellaneous parts.
$3000 or best offer for the whole lot. Willing to sell items or Willys separately. I can help load on your trailer with my tractor.”
The seller notes it needs a little work.

“Selling my 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. All stock with brand new tires, freshly powdercoated rims and a powdercoated roll bar. Bikini top. Runs and drives but needs a little time put into it. Took a long time to get all the title and everything worked out and lost love for it. Very minimal rust.
Title is finally clean and in my name. Plates in storage at Kapolei branch. Pretty sure all it needs to get safety is the fluids topped up, the rear light rewired and the fuel gauge installed.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5900.
(12/24/2020) Has a variety of updates.

“Here is your chance to own a piece of history. As they say, They don’t make them like this any more. 225 Buick v-6, t-14a transmission, Dana 18 transfer case and a Warn Overdrive swapped in from a late 60’s CJ-5.
The engine is healthy and has a rebuilt Holley 2280 carb with no choke, new intake manifold gaskets, new t-stat and new electronic ignition and coil, the trans and transfer case got new bearings 2 years ago. New coolant gauge installed last week.
A Dana 44 with open differential pushes the rear and an Dana 25 with new axles, Spicer I-joints, and new bearings and seals 2 years ago on the knuckles. New blinker switch, tail lights, and wiring this summer.
A full roll cage keeps you safe and I do have a full soft top and doors to go with it. A Warn 8274 winch is up front to pull your buddies out. Nearly new 33×12.5×15 mud terrain tires. This is not a rust bucket nor a near mint Jeep. It was my daily driver until 2 yrs ago. has sat way too much since then so time to sell.”
It appears to have a 2A body.
